Today, was the last day you were here. It was a beautiful sunny day that you didn't get to see but I know you would have loved it even though it was the opposite of what I expected.
Today, you didn't wake up when the sun did. No, today you rested with the moon and forgot the sun even existed.
Today, you didn't get to hear all the great stories and memories everyone shared about you. Perhaps we should have shared them with you sooner then maybe you would have stayed here.
Today, was a sad day filled with many tears that you wasn't here to dry. Maybe we should have dried some of yours first.
Today, I held your mom in the biggest hug I could manage because she said she felt numb without you there. I'm not sure if she even felt it but I think you was in the hug too.
Today, I hope you would have found the peace there, the one that you couldn't find here.
Today, was the last day you were here; tomorrow it will have been yesterday but that doesn't make it any less real to us left here.
